The Dual Diploma Program meets the needs of each of our participant students and prepares them for success in both college and their professional careers. It also provides an educational experience that promotes a sense of responsibility, dedication, and empowerment. Through innovative instructional methods focusing on higher-ordered problem-solving, our students are challenged to think critically about complex concepts and learn to use analysis, evaluation, judgment, and creativity to solve everyday problems. The pedagogical model centers on rigor, relevance, and relationships.
